Compulsary holidays at Barclays ?
If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question. -
Certainly the case at LBG (subject to project needs etc etc) I'm delighted, time with the family. -
I am at an financial blue chip org and all contractors are the same as well, finishing on 14th December.______________________

You are not forced to take compulsory holidays. Permies are given that. You are ask not to work for a period of time. There is a big difference with IR35 looming over you. One can be a pointer inside, having it reworded could be a nice pointer outside.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

I have not heard anything yet ... If that is the requirement I would like to know ASAP to make plans...If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.Comment
